I use procmail, but I don't have much experience with formail. I copied

Well, I see you're using the same file as a lockfile and
as the cache for formail... I'm not sure just what kind of
messages (and problems) that interaction may cause. Try different
files (rather than message-id.lck twice) and see what happens then.
(Also note that formail returns "failure" for NON-duplicate
messages and "success" for duplicate messages. This is
expected behavior, so don't let the "program failure" language
in the logfile bother you.)
Hope that helps,
